Ukraine's former commander-in-chief believes major advance on battlefield impossible until 2027

Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine's Ambassador to the UK and former Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine believes that deep advances on the battlefield are currently impossible due to the technical evolutionary process that will end in 2027.

Quote from Zaluzhnyi: "…The advancing country loses the ability to perform operational tasks.

What are these tasks? This is an advance to a depth of 150-200 kilometres, as set out by Soviet standards. When robots began to appear on the battlefield en masse, they made it impossible for soldiers to move. The inability to fight the robots led to a stupor. We couldn't move against the Russians, and the Russians, accordingly, couldn't move, either.  

This situation is still the same because we don't see the Russians being able to perform such tasks as, for example, covering 150-200 kilometres in a week.

Per my theory, the ability to push through will be restored when this technical and evolutionary process is completed and technological materials are stockpiled. 

I estimate that this could happen sometime after 2027. But it is not yet a fact that it will be 2027, given the economic and demographic situation, and that someone will claim to wage wars of such a scale as overcoming the enemy's territory."

Details: However, Zaluzhnyi believes that it will most likely be a tactic that Russia is currently using in Ukraine – the so-called "devastation" tactic, which first leads to "the destruction of the economic and moral conditions".

Quote from Zaluzhnyi: "We are now seeing that there are no deep advances by the enemy  on the battlefield. We see a gradual driving out of our positions. This costs them very, very big losses.

They are also striking at our economy and targeting civilian objects. This includes planning the flight path of their missile systems so that the missile interceptors can still hit our civilian targets. It is also an information campaign aimed at ruining the mobilisation.

It also includes cognitive actions aimed at changing Ukrainians' attitudes towards the war. As a result, we have problems with personnel on the front line, which eventually leads to us gradually losing ground. 

But, again, the Russians are not ready to make huge efforts to expand their front, which would require huge resources, which the Russians also do not have any more."
